Turns out the actor had injured his shoulder recently while working out in the gym. The actor had to undergo a corrective surgery as a result. The doctor has advised the actor to take two months rest. He has also been advised not to perform any action stunts for the next 5 months.

"Madhavan has been asked to take rest for two months. Though he can start shooting from the third month, he can’t perform any action scenes for at least five months,” a source close to the actor told Hindustan Times.

The actor had suffered a similar injury two years ago while shooting for Saala Khadoos but never found the time to get the operation done.

The actor was recently seen in a web series called Breathe on Amazon Prime which received good reviews from fans and critics alike.
